Of the1900 unverified signatures we submitted:
Approximately 1531 were gathered by Hermosa residents, and
approximately 367 were gathered by signature gatherers not residing in
Hermosa.

On April 17 the City Clerk notified us that she had completed her
preliminary ("prima facie") check of the petitions, which showed that
1756 signatures were valid, and that she had then delivered the
petitions to the LA County Registrar-Recorder for signature
verification.

On
May 7 the City Clerk told us that per her instructions, the
Registrar-Recorder had stopped checking signatures once the number of
verified signatures exceeded the minimum required by 100. They
checked 1559 signatures to get 1392 verified ones.

At their May 22 meeting the Council voted 3 - 2 (noes: Tucker and
Reviczky)
to put the matter on the November ballot; the alternative was to
immediately repeal the ordinance they had passed in March.

At their July 24 meeting the Council voted 3 - 2 (noes:
Tucker and Reviczky) on the final resolution putting the fate of the
March
ordinance on the November ballot.

At their
August 14
meeting the Council voted
to
reverse their July 24 decision; they repealed
the ordinance and removed the matter from the November 6 ballot.
The action was split into two votes. The vote to cancel the
ordinance was 4 - 1 (no: Keegan). The vote to remove the matter
from the November 6 ballot was 3 - 2 (noes: Keegan and Bobko).

Here
is a table of how they voted on the ordinance discussed above, as well
as the (earlier) ordinance regarding the reconstruction of damaged
buildings.
